At the beginning of the season, when Mac McClung and Scoot Henderson decided to document their seasons on <\/span>\u201cThe Break presented by The General,\u201d no one knew where this year would take them or what they might accomplish. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NBA\u2019s All-Star Weekend is a series of events typically reserved for the premier talents of the NBA. With the G League continuing to grow in popularity and talent, the league searched for ways to engrain some of the game\u2019s \u201cRising Stars\u201d into the weekend festivities. This expansion resulted in both Scoot and Mac headlining the weekend’s top competitions and turning heads as they put on a show. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a projected first-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, most fans are already familiar with the name Scoot Henderson. But after battling injuries during the first half of the season, this weekend was a prime opportunity for Scoot to remind top NBA executives that he is the real deal. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, February 17, Scoot took the floor for the three-game \u201cRising Stars\u201d tournament alongside selected top G League talents, including Mac McClung and other Ignite teammates. The G League-based team was coached and named after NBA legend and former All-Star, Jason Terry. Scoot and Team Jason dropped their first game of the tournament, but this wouldn\u2019t be the last chance for Scoot to participate in a showcase game throughout the weekend. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoot was additionally named one of the captains of the G League \u201cNext Up Game,\u201d an exhibition taking place on February 19 between some of the best players across the G League.  Alongside fellow captain and Iowa Wolves center Luke Garza, Scoot was given the responsibility of drafting his team. The players he was able to draft were voted into the game by G League fans and players. Scoot showed some loyalty as he drafted some of the top G League talents to \u201cTeam Scoot\u201d when he chose six of his Ignite teammates to compete alongside him against Team Luka. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
